No confusion here. You want a nice flexible living constitution.

Your confusion lies that I have two threads. One thread is supporting the fourth amendment, the other thread of thought is my criticism of the way conservatives vote.

I want freedom. I don't want overlords. How is that confusing?

I know that’s how you see it. I can’t change that.

When I deal with people who think the fourth amendment and Constitution guarantee them that they should never run into a road-block, they frequently state something to the effect that they should be able to do anything they want, as long as it doesn’t harm anyone else. Ah, there’s the catch.

Who determines what harms anyone else? If a city agency comes up with a law that you can’t park more than 12-18 inches from the curb, it’s some people’s take that it’s an infraction of their Constitutional right to do as they please. Never mind that some other citizen might want to pass their parked car without having to cross the center median to do it. Yes, that person would be infringing on another person’s right to free unobstructed passage with his/her car parked too far out in the street.

You want to claim a Constitutional guarantee that prevents any public entity from setting up such ground rules.

I’m sorry, but just like the thirteen year old, you’re going to have to accept some rules in life.

It’s this thirteen year old kid’s view of why they can’t take the family car out for a spin thing, that makes me dismiss your take on things.
